BA (Hons) Economics and Politics

Our Economics degree is run by a very experienced Department of Social and Political Science. It reinforces the vision of economics as a major social science that influences others, and considers the different contexts and fields that Economics is related to.

As this is a dynamic course, it is continuously evolving, and through participatory activities and use of the latest technologies it will help to enhance your employability.

Economics opens opportunities in many areas. Our students have shown particular interest on civil service positions, such as the ones the Government Economic Service offers. But some pursue business careers as entrepreneurs, or go into financial advisor roles. Other opportunities include economic policy analyst, consultancy, investment or data analyst, statistician.
